Session 7
Distinguished Expert Panel

Topic:
Over the Top Video - Rising to the Challenge
Panel Moderator:
Carol Davids - Illinois Institute of Technology, Director
Real-Time
Communications (RTC)
Lab
http://rtc-lab.itm.iit.edu/
Abstract:
The
growing volume of Over the Top (OTT) video traffic, sourced by such well-known
providers as Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, and capable of being received by
IP-enabled devices of all kinds including iPhones, Android devices, tablets,
PDAs and PCs, presents challenges and opportunities to all network operators and
in particular to the operators of mobile networks. According to a recent Cisco
study, video traffic accounts for 50% of all mobile traffic today and is
projected to reach 70% within a few years. Bandwidth limitations, stalling
playback and poor video fidelity can result from this rapidly growing segment of
network traffic. Global Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), operator-owned
combinations of CDN and Video on Demand (VoD), Adaptive Bit Rate technologies,
video analytics and optimization applications at the mobile network's edge can
mitigate the impact of OTT data and ensure a quality experience for the end-user
and a viable business model for the network service provider. This panel of
experts will discuss OTT Video, its impact on mobile networks, and the business
and technology options available to successfully meet the challenges and realize
the opportunities.
Introduction/Overview by Carol Davids
Panelists:
Jose de Francisco Lopez – Marketing Director – Cloud Computing, Alcatel-Lucent
Kirk McBean – Chief Systems Architect - Mobile Wireless Networks, Cisco Systems
Mike Paradise – AVP, Global Network Operations, AT&T
Mark Zionts – Chief Executive Officer, Ortiva Wireless, Inc.
Session 8
Operations Panel
Wednesday, May 16,
15:30-16:45
Topic: Operating complex networks that satisfy customers
Panel Moderator:
Chris Mayer, Verizon
Abstract:
As service providers pursue greater market share, revenue growth, and better margins they are entering new market spaces with emerging technologies and building complex network solutions which need to scale rapidly and operate with very high reliability. All of this in the context of dominant customer perceptions that innovation and value creation come mostly from devices and applications. This continues to generate significant challenges for network operators and their solution-provider partners.
This panel is meant to complement discussion themes from the three workshop segments
Issues to discuss include:
To decide or not to decide – knowing when you have enough data to act
Combining network probe capability with sophisticated analytics and business intelligence
Case study on Business Intelligence – getting critical data to the correct person in time to delight a customer or prevent an outage
Understanding network operations from the end-customer perspective
30 minutes Q&A (each participant will get questions to answer)
Panelists:
To Decide or Not to Decide? That is the Decision, Tom Magg, CTO DAX Technologies
Is the Service Quality meeting your Expectations? Vikas Arora, EXFO CTO
The Sine Field Effect - Key components to an effective performance management strategy, Brian Harvell, VP of Engineering, SevOne
End-customer and Provider Operations, Martin Guldberg, Verizon Wireless
